diff: add --from and --to flags as clearer alternative to -r -r

I think it was mistake to let the `-r` flag accept two revisions in
`hg diff` in 98633e60067c (Support for 0, 1, or 2 diff revs,

it started accepting revsets as input.

This patch introduces `--from` and `--to` flags, each taking a single
revision and each defaulting to the working copy. That means that `hg
